The Howe Library Corporation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit responsible for funding the collections and programs of the Howe Library.
Who We Are
Since 1899, the Howe Library Corporation has been passionately invested in the life of the Howe Library. The Corporation and its strong base of supporters, otherwise known as Corporation Members, continue to provide an essential network of financial support for core library services.
The Corporation is made of almost 300 elected members who champion the library and demonstrate leadership in the community. Besides attending the Annual Meeting and Corporation events, members make an annual donation and serve on committees that provide energy and direction for the work of the Corporation.
Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees are Corporation Members who are elected to manage and oversee the assets, activities, and policies of the Corporation as well as offer guidance to the library. With the exclusion of the Select Board Representative and the Library Director, each trustee serves an appointed term, with the option to be reelected. One hundred percent of trustees make an annual contribution to the Howe Annual Fund.
